  1. From http://codex.wordpress.org/Uploading_Files :

    WordPress supports uploading the following file types:

    Images

    .jpg .jpeg .png .gif

    Documents

    .pdf (Portable Document Format; Adobe Acrobat) .doc, .docx (Microsoft
    Word Document) .ppt, .pptx, .pps, .ppsx (Microsoft PowerPoint
    Presentation) .odt (OpenDocument Text Document) .xls, .xlsx (Microsoft
    Excel Document)

    Audio

    .mp3 .m4a .ogg .wav

    Video

    .mp4, .m4v (MPEG-4) .mov (QuickTime) .wmv (Windows Media Video) .avi
    .mpg .ogv (Ogg) .3gp (3GPP) .3g2 (3GPP2)

    Not all web hosts permit these files to be uploaded. Also, they may not
    permit large file uploads. If you are having issues, please check with
    your host first.

    That bottom note means that you may be limited on the size of file uploads via your or your web host’s php.ini file, and file type uploads may also be limited in php.ini or .htaccess, depending on what you have configured or what your web host has configured.
